Every eye exam is performed by a licensed optometrist. Our team includes Dr. Vivian Li, O.D., a graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry who provides comprehensive eye exams and contact lens evaluations for patients of all ages.
Beyond reading an eye chart, our exams can include visual acuity and refraction, visual field testing (Humphrey Field Analyzer), binocular vision assessment, no-puff tonometry to screen for glaucoma, a dilated fundus examination, and retinal photography with OCT scans for early detection of eye disease.
A comprehensive eye exam typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the testing involved. A standard eyeglass exam typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Most adults benefit from an exam every one to two years, or sooner if your vision changes. As a guide: ages 18 to 39 every two years (annually if you wear contacts or have risk factors), ages 40 to 64 every one to two years, and 65 and older annually.
Yes. Our optometrists use age-appropriate testing to make exams comfortable and accurate for children from toddlers through teenagers. Annual exams are recommended because children often can’t tell when something is wrong with their vision.
Bring your medical and vision insurance cards so coverage and benefits can be verified. If your pupils will be dilated, bring sunglasses or arrange transportation, since your vision may be blurry and light-sensitive for several hours.
Yes. A contact lens exam adds specialized measurements and a fitting that a standard glasses exam doesn’t include, so your lenses are safe and comfortable.
Yes. We fit toric lenses for astigmatism and multifocal lenses for presbyopia, as well as daily and monthly lenses.
Acuvue, Bausch + Lomb, CooperVision, Alcon DAILIES and other leading brands.
Absolutely. We teach safe insertion, removal and care. After your fitting you’ll receive complimentary trial lenses, typically for about a week, then return for a follow-up to confirm fit, vision and comfort.
Often, yes. We evaluate your tear film during the contact lens exam, and modern lens materials have made successful wear possible for many people with dry eyes. Your optometrist will recommend the best option for you.
Yes. Thanks to our in-house lens lab, most single-vision prescriptions are completed the same day, often in about an hour.
Most single-vision prescriptions using in-stock lens materials and coatings, with frames from our in-store collection. Complex progressive or specialty lenses, very high or unusual prescriptions, and special-order frames or treatments may take longer. Call (212) 300-4976 with your prescription and we’ll tell you if same-day service is possible.
Some are. Complex or specialty progressives may take longer, and we’ll give you a clear timeline up front.
We can perform an eye exam on-site so you can get your glasses in the same visit.
In most cases, yes, once our opticians confirm your frames can safely accept new lenses.
We use Zeiss, Varilux, Shamir and Rodenstock lenses in single vision, bifocal, progressive, high-index and photochromic options, with blue-light filtering, anti-reflective, UV and scratch-resistant coatings.
Yes. We craft custom prescription sun lenses in single vision, progressive and polarized options with 100% UV protection. Many single-vision prescription sunglasses can be completed quickly in our in-house lab.

Yes. We repair and adjust frames from anywhere, including designer and titanium frames. Services include nose pad replacement, soldering, screw and hinge repair, temple repair and lens replacement.
No. Just walk in. Most repairs and adjustments are done while you wait.
